The British Monarchy apparently has a Flickr stream. They also have pictures of the wedding cake and McVities Groom Cake. Take a gander at what are sure to be the most Wrecked cake copies in the coming year or two:

I spy with my little eye some icing smears that look like bullet holes on that Princess Harley cake... I also like how, because it is a combined cake for Jeffrey and Sarah, the wreckerator split it down the not-quite-center with that red and blue piping.

Thanks for the laughs, Jen!

P.S. Here's your sound effect!

It's a harp, but some royalty might indeed prefer the harpsichord. It has a lovely sound too!

Great post! My boyfriend once sent me a text saying he'd fight through all the levels of Mario and defeat Bowser to save me. It was the most romantic thing I'd ever heard. Geek love FTW! Maybe one day we'll have our very own fairytail wedding.

Belle's dress looks to me like it's made of tree fungus - right color and everything. Now, as much as I love mushrooms, not sure I want a cake made of them! Then again, that might be one "special" cake!

I'll never understand why twins should have to share a birthday cake. (Tough enough to have to share your birthday when you're a kid!) I have twin daughters and as far as I'm concerned, the more cake the better!

I should make the crown one for the lady who always comes in and wants a crown on a cake, which since we don't have any crowns I always have to say no. Maybe that cake would put an end to her asking for crown cakes...

Would it be too creepy if, in my first official comment on Cake Wrecks, I told you that I'm so impressed you managed to fit all of those amazing references into one super hilarious post that I'm convinced we need to be BFF's and buy matching Princess Vespas and hang out all day, every day? Yes? Too creepy? Okay then. Good to know.

#1 Serving this must have resulted in a mess of epic proportions. It seems that the whole concept of the CCC (retentively equal servings, no cutting required, etc) is being gradually buried under amounts of frosting that must soon exceed the weight of the universe.

When I first scrolled down, I only caught the upper half of the Princess Belle cake and was like this isn't that bad....then I scrolled down. It's like someone made her dress out of balogna meat petals. 0_0

I'm living my fairytale too (no fluffy tails here). Hubby and I have "as you wish" inscribed in our wedding bands, we went to WDW for our honeymoon, and we loved playing Bioshock together (I'm the only one who screamed from time to time). We started playing games with things like Myst and Riven.

Poor poor Belle. That gown/venus flytrap looking thing is eating her up lol. As for the others.. that last one was nice until the sad tail part lol. Ah well no one gets that fairy tale ending after all :(.

Even when I was a little kid, in my actual "princess diaries" days (a thousand years ago or who's counting anyways), my first order of business would have been to chow down cake - no matter what it looked like. Interestingly, by my kid perception, all of these cakes, (wrecks and non-wrecks alike) would have qualified as fit for a princess by my standards, and still are. I can't decide if that's good or bad.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
